Downing Street has announced the Community Security Trust (CST) will be given an additional £3 million to provide extra security for Britain’s Jewish population in the wake of the Hamas attacks in Israel.

It comes after three Jewish schools in north London decided to close for the day on Friday after one of the leaders of Hamas called for a “day of rage” against Israel.
